Aurelio's Mexican Restaurant

I had dinner here last night for the first time and it will be my last time. Every single person at my table received their order wrong in some form or fashion. It took forever to come out and one lady at my table only had 2 chicken tacos. We also had the Texas margarita and it was very weak. I’m no drinker by any means but this tasted like juice. Maybe we went on a bad night, I don’t know. But I won’t be going back.

If you’re not looking for anything fancy or special this place might be for you. Seems like a family owned restaurant that’s just trying to serve good food. I got a Paloma whole my mother got a watermelon marg and both were fantastic. Chips and salsa were very standard. Staff is very attentive and very polite. Food however was a little bland. If anything it lacks salt which is usually the opposite, but adding salt yourself fixes things.

Craving Mexican food, we tried this place while on vacay.
?
The interior space was nothing out of the ordinary, but felt well-maintained and clean. If I recall correctly, dogs are allowed on the patio.
?
Service was outstanding — from the hostess to the server, we were treated with genuine friendliness and were well taken care of.

The food was a pleasant surprise; my enchilada sauce was far better than I would have hoped to find in a small southern town. I would return here without hesitation.

This is a great spot for lunch. Every dish I've ordered has been great.
The tastes are brilliant, there is always more food than I expected, and presented in a way that experienced chefs would present their work.
The food is fresh, unlike other places. I’ve had salads, and other plates and they’ve always been cooked fresh. The amount served for the amount you pay is a constant surprise too. There is always too much for my lunch, but that makes dinner ideas easier.
The staff are very nice, greet you with a smile, and are quick to seat and serve you. From taking your order, to bringing it out, their attention is of a much higher standard than other similar places.
I go at least once a week when I'm in town and highly recommend you try it.

I don't tell anyone where they should, or shouldn't eat; however, if you eat here, pay with cash. This establishment charged my card for more than I authorized. My husband and I ate lunch here yesterday. Service and food were ok, nothing exceptional. The hostess took our drink order. Server returned with the drinks and took our meal order at that time. She brought our food and the check. No excessive back and forth from her on our part. The total for the check was $43.92. I left a tip of $6.08 to round my total to $50. When I checked my account this morning they'd billed me $53.92, which would be a $10 tip, that I didn't authorize, nor sign for. That is very bad business.

Always fast service and friendly servers! Love this place!!

This is probably one of the best Mexican restaurants that I have ever been too. I recommend the carne asada.

The wait times are always long but the food is good. Today I went in between 1 and 2pm. and stood there waiting to be seated long enough to see that there were 2 tables on each side of the dining room and one person at the bar and one woman bartender. Next I see a waiter come out with all the food for one of the tables and then turn and went back in the kitchen. As I looked around I noticed at least 4 tables with dirty dishes. I stood around another minute or two while the bartender was tending to the one patron at the bar and ignored me. Then I left..... I don't know how people can open a restaurant and then mismanage it into the ground by being understaffed constantly.
